ask:
I am a 21 year old female with no sex drive... Help?

This Article

I am a 21 year old female with no sex drive. I love my boyfriend, I WANT to be intimate with him, but once the time comes for intercourse, I am dry as a desert downstairs and confused because I know I want him. It is like there is no communication between my brain and my body parts. We've talked this through (because we've both had problems as of late), and both of us have come to the conclusion that we are tired and our diets are different as of late because we are not at home (actually on the other side of the country for a few more weeks). I understand diet can affect sex-drive but my diet has probably improved since being here, but I can admit that I've been pretty tired. Also, in the past month, I started bleeding mid-cycle even though I take the pill consistently. I visited the doctor and everything was normal, and I will start a new pill in a week or two once this cycle is done. I just don't know what to do. We want each other so badly, but I wasn't ready dowstairs when he was definitely ready. What can I do?

I have similar problems to everyone on here!! I have been in. Relationship for 3 years and I do love him so much. I think he is absolutely beautiful but when we get into bed I just am not interested. I do not sleep very well so even though I don't want to have sex i find myself just lying there wide awake instead. I absolutely cannot stand oral sex which I know is a problem for him but even When we first met I couldn't stand oral sex but we still had a very active sex life. I have been feeling like this for about a year and a half now and feel guilty every day! I speak to my friends who at the same age as me but they find it bizarre and it turns into a joke!!!! HELP!

You really do need to see a doctor about this. If your heart or lungs or legs weren't working properly, then you would see a doctor so this is the same thing. You may have a problem with your hormones or some other issue you are unaware of.

hello,
i dont feel like i can talk to anyone face to face about this but asking online seems easier.im 21. i have been with my boyfriend for nearly two years now. it started off really good sex wise, i had a sex drive,was experimental and even initiated it, but somethings changed, he still wants it often and is easily turned on but i just dont want it anymore. we end up having sex because i feel guilty about saying no all the time and very rarely when i want it. we have had countless convos about him not asking 24/7 but he cant help it. i love him hes perfect in every other way. he feels neglected and i feel guilty. ive not had many partners and they werent anywhere near as good as my boyfriend. im more confident and comfortable than i have ever been. im about to leave my job and move in with him, working nearer there than my parents home and im really excited but a little nervous. any advice would be great. thanks

It seems like you've just gotten tired of the routine of having sex. It's great that he still has the desire to have sex with you frequently but maybe all you need is something to spice it up. Consider role playing, using toys, you initiating it instead of him, being spontaneous-- the routine is what gets boring sometimes-- this doesn't mean that you don't love him, it's clear that you do. Sometimes we just need that spontaneity and excitement from the beginning of the relationship back.

I'm the same way, I'm 25 and have no sex drive, but what's werid is whenever I first meet someone and start dating them I will have a sex drive for about a month then its gone after that, and when I do have intercourse there's no effect for me with any of my previous partners, I am on birth control for going on 7 years, my bf who I have been dating off and on for 6 years, it really affects him. He does not feel right having sex with someone who in a since doesn't want/ care to have sex, cuz I don't really care if I do or don't.

hello i am also 21 i have no sex drive i have felt like this for about 2 years . i also feel like i a "baggy and abit numb" downstairs, when we do have sex it seems to collect air then push it back out which causes alot of embarrassment i do feel him but not quite as much as i used to and i do get very wet which makes it quite hard for him not to slip about abit . i bought a kegl8 machine and i've been using it for nearly a year with not much change. i do have 2 children (3 and 1&ahalf) . i have body issues with my boobs due to feeding for 11 months. i find it had to start sex like asking him i have lost masses of confidence since having the kids. but my issues are makin our relationship very tense and stressful as he feels i dont try and dont care. i know i want sex but my body and brain dont seem to wanna talk to each other.
any help would be great thanks

Hello, you can call me "Red",
I just recently turned 21 and I noticed that I have a serious lack of sex-drive and a constant numb feeling in place of my emotions. I've felt this way for some time now, (maybe 6 months)? I'm in a relationship -> I enjoy having relations with my guy, but i'm always dry, and am never "satisfied".
I enjoy life, my friends, my job, ect. I'm just not sure whats going on with my body anymore. I eat healthy, always active. Things that I enjoyed sexually don't entertain me anymore. I don't feel happy, or sad. Just numb. I don't get butterflies in my stomach, nervous, anything.
Any ideas on what I can do to turn this around?
